i LOVE this dress! It fit perfectly, the only thing I needed to alter were the straps that go around your neck. Since I wore my hair down, I just tied them and let my hair cover the knot. I'm 5'4'' so the dress went below my knees, but I was happy with the length. I ordered it in white, and as you can see in pictures it was VERY white. That's exactly what I wanted though. If you don't want the dress as bright as mine I would order it in Ivory. After I bought it I did have a doubts about it because it's a short dress, but I'm happy I stayed with it because it ended up being in the high 80s on my wedding day! It was also different than the "normal" long dresses. very pleased!
